Pasadena is centrally located just north of downtown Los Angeles and remains one of the most highly sought after places to live in Southern California. Sometimes everything really does come up roses!

This has been a heated argument over and over again at the Altadena Town Councel meetings. Now, it's finally law.
Los Angeles County Supervisor, Michael Antonovich, announced that in order to improve public safety and the flow of traffic for the community of Altadena, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved an amendment to the Altadena Community Standards District restricting commercial vehicles over 10,000 pounds or more on any highway or alley in Altadena.
This will apply for commercial vehicles of 10,000 pounds or more. The County Department of Public Works will be responsible for posting signs at the boundaries of the Altadena Community Standards District notifying motorists of on-street parking prohibition. The restriction shall apply between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m, 7 days a week.
Some of you may know that the poppy flower is California's official state flower. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Poppy Before Altadena became a residential communit, all that existed in Altadena were poppy fields and orange groves. And there was no Altadena Dairy farm, despite rumors.
This picture was taken around 1875 looking northwest toward Millard Canyon.
Altadena Heritage will host a garden party and its fifth annual Golden Poppy Awards next Sat., June 7, 5-7:30 PM. The party will be held at Ann & Chris David's home, 1077 Altadena Dr., built in 1923 and designed by Lawrence Stimson, who also designed the Wrigley Mansion in Pasadena. Altadena Heritage will also present its Golden Poppy Awards to eight of Altadena's most creative gardeners. Hors d'oeuvres and beverages will be served. Tickets are $20, $15 for members call 797-0054 for more information or E-mail altadenaheritage@earthlink.net.
On Sunday, June 22, 2008 from 12pm to 7pm, prepare to be entertained by two classic greats, Chubby Checker and Pat Boone. Honestly, I'm sad to say that I didn't even know they were still around. Mike Antonovich, our L.A. County Supervisor stated that Chubby Checker is still in pretty good shape - must be all that "twisting" the night away. The last I saw Pat Boone he was mimicking Howard Stern, sporting leather!
They will be performing at Frank G. Bonelli regional Park, 120 Via Verde Drive in San Dimas, CA. When I attended a counsel meeting last week hosted by Michael Antonovich, he stated that Chubby Checker will be performing at around 3:00 and Pat Boone will be performing at around 4:30 or 5:00.
Advanced Reserved Ticket are $20
Advanced General Admission Tickets (sit anywhere) are $10
Parking is $5
Children under 12 years old receive free general admission
This will be a lot of fun, I'm sure. For more information contact 909/599-8411.
